BrokenPipeError when `| head`ing output
Metadata
Current evaluation
Piping snapcraft revisions output to head triggers a BrokenPipeError traceback. Reported 8+ years ago with zero maintainer interaction; no BrokenPipeError handling found in current codebase.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is 2986 days old with zero comments and no labels, showing no maintainer engagement. However, the underlying problem (missing BrokenPipeError handling in the CLI) is a real, reproducible bug that would still affect users piping snapcraft output. The fix is straightforward (catch BrokenPipeError or set SIGPIPE to default), but the extreme age and lack of any triage activity make it unclear whether this is still relevant to the current codebase architecture. A maintainer should confirm whether the issue persists before deciding to fix or close.
